A Rising Man

“A Man Through Time" chronicles the extraordinary journey of Caine Kaelix, a man unexpectedly thrust from his mundane life into a desolate, post-apocalyptic future. After a brief but intense month of survival, marked by encounters with monstrous beasts and the discovery of a profound silence, he returns to his present only eight hours later, armed with a mysterious beast-bone sword, combat skills, and an ancient AI. This unexplained time displacement prompts him to prepare for the world's end, utilizing his ability to traverse time to train and gather resources from the future. As Caine delves deeper into the future, he uncovers the truth of the apocalypse – a world ravaged by "Zeros", mutations, and beasts. He trains rigorously in advanced genetic arts, honing his combat skills and developing an almost symbiotic relationship with the harsh environment. His encounters with other survivors, including a group from a city named Starfall, force him to confront the brutal realities of this new existence and decide his role within it. Through strategic battles, the discovery of ancient artifacts, and the harnessing of unique powers, Caine evolves from a "simple man" into a formidable survivor, adapting to a world where "only the strong can draw the most blood and create the most carnage." His journey is one of relentless self-improvement and a fierce determination to forge his own destiny in a chaotic, unpredictable universe.

In the realm of Lumisgrave, humanity is thrust into chaos when ancient Vaults—portals to the demon world—begin to open. With devils emerging and darkness creeping across the lands, humanity's only hope lies in those who awaken strange powers from the Surge—each individual ranked by the mysterious P.R.I.M.E. system: Omega, Alpha, Mythic, Apex, and Zenith. Among them is Arslan, a quiet and conflicted young man burdened with a harrowing destiny. Unbeknownst to most, he is the vessel of Kar’Thæl, a fallen entity once feared by the demons themselves. While the world sees Arslan as another Mythic-ranked warrior, deep inside him dwells a power both feared and hunted—one that could save the world or doom it. As friendships form, betrayals unfold, and demons invade, Arslan must learn to master his devastating abilities, earn back the trust of those he once pushed away, and unravel the truth behind the demon attacks. When the monstrous demon ZARELLE invades, it sparks a battle that reshapes the world’s balance—and awakens Arslan’s true strength. But darker forces stir beyond the Vaults. Ancient demon lords—Nyzora, Shadrak, and Valgorr—prepare a wild card no one expects. As Arslan begins forging his legacy and his mythic allies rise in power, the fate of their world, their families, and their hearts will depend on what he chooses: Break the bond, or burn the world.

What if you woke up in a world of magic? Alaric, a young man, knew what he wanted: to do nothing, just like on Earth. He was a procrastinator who loved lounging on the couch, scrolling through social media or watching movies and TV shows. That was his life. But when he ended up in a magic academy with teachers pushing him to work hard? That wasn’t for him. Alaric was so lazy and had such poor talent that he got expelled. Few can say they were kicked out of a magic academy in a kingdom desperate for mages. Left alone with no family or money, Alaric wandered the wilderness, struggling to survive. One day, after sleeping for two days straight, something awakened within him. A System. [Arcane Idleness Protocol Activated] [The less you do, the stronger you get] [First Passive] [Idle Infusion: Your total mana increases while you sleep. The more you sleep, the higher your total mana will increase] [Spell Rank: ???] And that was just the beginning of the legend of Alaric, the wizard who never trained yet reached the peak. The mage who built the best magic academy from scratch just to use his disciples to work for him. "I can relax all day while my disciples work for me, what a life!"

The world had shown Baines every possible lesson it could teach; from familial love, joy, and peace to hate, rage, betrayal, and pain. He got detached from his family by the wimps of others. But, before he began his journey to find them, he was forced to witness that scene that haunted him once more. The destruction of his home. He was about to give up on life when an unforeseen opportunity presented itself. There, he vowed, "The world will bleed for what it has done to me." Using the greatest collections gathered by his ancestors, he set out on the thorny path to revenge. Little did he know, the result of his actions followed other cascading events that then threatened his world. Does he refuse to help the world because of the pain it had caused him? Or, will he join in the destruction? . . Read, like, add, comment, and drop a power stone or golden ticket

Daniel stood alone in his apartment. The far-off wail of sirens along 7th Avenue echoed in through the window, but it was unable to drown out the question clawing in his mind. He stared at his reflection on the dark TV screen, and barely audible above the city noise, he whispered, “I love Cindy more than anything, but her best friend is a man.” This question troubled him, month after month. Cindy was everything he desired: brilliant, ambitious, magnetic. Her laughter would light up a room. However, her connection with Frederick as her best friend since college was clouding Daniel’s heart. All the shared jokes reminded him he was not her everything. His desire was to have been her support, her trusted friend, and her only love, but fear held him back. The fear of pushing her away, the fear of appearing small, the fear of lack of not being enough. He sat in his leather armchair holding his phone in hand, thumb hovering over Cindy’s name in his contacts list. Should he call her? Spill the insecurity gnawing on him? Or would that simply show his inability to integrate into her world, in which Frederick was an established reality, much like the city’s ceaseless beat? The fact Daniel wanted to have a life with Cindy, get married, have children, live in a brownstone in Park Slope, conflicted with his fear of losing her to someone who knew her better than he did. He closed his eyes, and here he left the question to hang unanswered. Bur Frederick’s presence was, however, a crack in his drafted blueprint, a factor he had no control over. Daniel gripped his phone tighter; the weight of his doubt forced him down. He desired to be enough for Cindy, but the fear that he wasn’t left him on the edge of silence and a loop of desires and doubts.
